Wants Fair Trial.

NEW YORK, October 3O.-Prof Felix AID
Ter addressed the Society of Ethical Cult
ure at Cbickering Hall this morning on
the case of the condemned Chicago An
archists. He said that he had been asked
to address q mass-meetiDg, arranged IN be-
half of the condemned, but felt con-
strained TO refuse He looked upon those men
as criminals. Every fibre of my moral ma
ture is outraged by the methods by which
they sought to obtain their ends" said
the Professor. THE Anarchists ara the
worst enemies of society, and should be
suppressed. Yet / rise TO enter q plea in
their behalf. because am IN favor of alb
solute purity in judicial processes, and
impartiality in the face of public excite
ment. / speak for them as / would for my
worst enemy if injustice was about to be
done TO him. If these men are HING they
will be looked upon as heroes, which they
are not. Society has the right to and
should quarantine these men Just the
same as the bearers of cholera germs"
Mr.. Adler reviewed the trial, aud as he
repeated part of Fielden's speech, there
was some applause in the gallery of the hall.
This was at once met with an outburst of
Kisses. and the speaker ceased in his dis
course to say that any demonstration by
the audience was not permitted by the
rules of the society. He afterwards said
that in his opinion, the prisoners should
have had separate trials and that Lingg,
Scbwab and Fielden should be imprisoned
for life, and the others sentenced to short
terms

LOOKING SERIOUS,
This Presence Of Ammonia in the ORDAINED
Food Of Man.
Its Detection Publicly Claimed by the Ohio
State Food Commissioners.

THE Ohio State Dairy and Food Com
missioner, General s, II. Hurst, has made
public Circular No. 81 the results of the
Commissioner Investigation of baking
powder. This commission was formed By
the Legislature, with instructions to make
an examination of the food supply of the
State and to give a report OF such examin.
alton to the public The examination OF
the baking powders was made by Prof a.
A. Weber. State Chemist, and, relating as
it does to an article of daily use in the food
OF almost every one, is OF particular inter
est"
The startling fact is brought out by the
report that the Royal baking powder
contains carbonate of ammonia-a power
ful but uDclean gss-generating substance
originally derived from animal excrement.
1t is but fair to say that the Commission
ers found Dr. Prices Cream Baking Powder
free from this poisonous drug and that it
is recommended by Government chemists
the heads of the great Universities and
Public Food analysts as the purest,
str ongest and most healthful, for general
family use.
as health is paramount to all other con-
sideratioDs we would advise all house
keepers, for the detection OF concealed
ammonia and other deleterious drugs, as
well as to determine the purity of any
Baking Powder, TO make this simple test ::
Mix in tin cup hesping tesspoonful of
the powder with two teaspoonsfal of cold
water, place it over the fire, stirring con-
stantly and allow it to boil, then smell.
If sdulterated, that unspeakable odor
proving the source of ammonia will be
plainly detected. The presence Of ammo.
Ma in most cases indicates that alum is
used, as nearly all the alum OF commerce

cliDgiDg to the wreokage must have frozen
as is fell and completely encased the un-
fortunates, if indeed. they held on long
enough to permit such thing. My i'm
preston is they are all at the bottom of
the lake"
Neither at NAnitowoc nor Two Rivers
were any traces of the lost vessel to be
heard of yesterday either By vessels srriY-
ing there or by means of tugs going few
miles out. Capt. Hawkins. of the schooner
William Home, arriving in Milwaukee
this morning, reports passing three dead
bodies Saturday afternoon about six miles
southwest OF Manitowoc. One body was
that of a woman with long black hair. One
had a life preserver on. The other two
bodies were those of men. None of the
other vessels arriving here yesterday saw
any vTeckage OF bodies, most of them
having been too far out in the lake.
From dispatches sent out yesterday the
following three names of passengers have
been secured, though il can not be posi-
lively ascertsined that the persons named
were aboard. Mackinaw gives the names
of the following persons supposed to have
been on board: Miss Katie Gallagher,
Mackinaw Island: Miss Ssliie Dunkin,
Chicago, a cousin OF Miss Gallagher. Both
were on their way to Chicago. From
Sheboygan the name Of c. Baumgsas,
Chicago, is reported as having taken pas
sage on the Inflated steamer. So lar
these are the only three names obtained
OF passengers, as there appears tolhave
been no list kept.

THE COAL MINERS
The Etiks in Davlsss County Gradually Ap-
preaching IN End.
Fatal Accident While Huntiag-A Two
Years SenteRce-FoSnd Dead
Caught in q Frog Etc.
Coal Strike Partially Knded.

WASHINGTON, Ind, October 3d. Spec
ial. The great coal miners strike which
began September Is has partially ended.
Tomorrow 800 men will go to work in the
mines of Cable * Kaufman who have &C
coded to the demands OF the strikers. The
advance Is equal to about cents per ton
all round, and the miners now receive 50
cents per ton for mining coal screened
over a three-quarter inch screen, while
riddled coal is Al cents per ton, and run
of the mine AZ cents. Day laborers are to
receive 81. 90 per day, and miners taken
out are to receive 81 per day.
Many miners in the city were in almost
destitute circumstances, and now that diff
ferences have been adjusted. much Joy and
telling happiness prevails. The company,
too, is satisfied with the settlement.
Superposed as Washington is upon q
valuable bed OF coal, it seems strange that
we should suffer from coal famine, yet
such was actually the case. Many families
had very little fuel and in some of the
public buildings, as the schools and court
house, there would have been, but for the
happy termination of the strike, a com
plete shutting down.
The difference between the miners and the
Wilson company is not yet djusted. The
company refuses ID acce lie to tue demands
of the miners. About 200 men of that
mine are still out oil employment.
What caused the strike to hold off so
long, was their determination that Ksuff.
man and Cable, the operators, should Join
the Miners Federation, which the com
peny refused to do. They finally adjusted
the difference without the company Join

MANITowoc, October 30.-The first par
ticulars of the wrecked Propeller Vernon
were received here this morning The re-
port says she foundered of Two Rivers.
The life saving station reported it found
cred of Sheboygan, but Later reports con-
firm the statement that she foundered
about six miles northwest of Two Rivers
point. Capt. Heron, OF the Schooner, John
Wesley, which arrived here this evening,
reports some wrecksge off Two Rivers
about O'Clock this morning, and also
passed lot OF wreckage until six miles
south of this place. The master of the
Schooner Phoenix, says he passed white
painted boards this afternoon six miles
south OF here. but could not distinguish
what vessel they came from; however, all
doubts were set at rest this afternoon when
a tup picked up "a pilot house with the
name Vernon" on il, aud five life pre-
servers, off Two Rivers. Owing to this
fact, probably not soul OF the twenty-five
or thirty people on board was saved. Tue
cause of the terrible disester will probably
remain mystery forever.
1t is quite generally believed here that
not single soul hiss survived, as it would
have been impossible for any person to
live in such sea, and exposed to the
intense cold that prevailed on the night
of the wreck. Many relatives Of those on
board came here on the propeller Law
renee this evening to obtain al particu-
lars possible concerning the lost. All the
places whore information would likely be
obtained were visited. The news was of
the most discouraging nature. They
abandoned all hope OF ever seeing their
friends sn0 relatives who were lost. IL is
reported tonight that Boiler Inspector
Reed and Fiiz gerald, of Milwaukee, were
aboard the i'll fated propeller. and are IN
doubtedly among the lost A patrol of the
life saving crew at Two Rivers was kept
on duty all night, but up 20 last report, no
bodies had been found.
The captain of the steamer Lawrence,
estimates the number of people on the ILL
fated vessel at about fifty persons. The
steam barge Burroughs of Milwaukee, is
overdue, and many an xious inquiries were
received as to her whereabouts.

Her Identity settled

Milwaukee, Wis.,, October 30.-The find-
ing of the pilot house of the propeller
Vernon by tug near Manitowoc, Wis,
settles al doubt regarding the identity Of
the lost vessel. Scarcely any traces of the
cargo have been seen to-day and nothing
has been heard OF those on board. II Is
feared that not a single soul of the thirty
or more aboard is left to tell the story of
The disaster.
A fcrlorn hope is entertained that q
passing vessel may have picked up some
Of the unfortunates, but with the terrible
sea that was running II would have been
almost q miracle to accomplish a rescue
The captain of the hfe-saving crew at Two
Rivers, Wis, describes the storm as the
worst ever seen by him on the lake, the
waves rising to the height of thirty or
forty feet. The first information received
by him was from this mornings papers,
although the wreck Is supposed to have
taken place within seven miles of Two
Rivers II is his impression that no one
has survived the wreck. It was bitterly
cold on the lake, he said, land q person

The News in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Ill, October 30.-The news of
the loss of the propeller Vernon was re-
ceived among the Chicago vessel men with
great surprise, as she was recognized as one
ofthe stsunchest boats for her size that was
on the lakes, and all agree that she could
weather the toughest storm if handled
properly. Mr.. Burk's agent for the North
Michigan line, which leased the boat from
A. Booth & Son, the first of August, said
to-day that the list Of officers as printed in
the dispatches was substantially correct,
and he has no means of knowing the
number and names CT the crew, as they
shipped at various points on the lake, and
the captain and clerk of the boat were
the only ones that kept any record OF them.
AS 10 the passengers on board, he was tot
ally ignorant of them. The Vernon was
on her return trip, and whatever passen-
gers she had would be registered only at
the ports where they went aboard, and
in the ships books. The last place
he heard of the boat was at North Port on
Friday, where she took on ninety thousand
barrel slaves consigned to Milwaukee
parties. This seems to con firm the report
OF Can't. Williams, of the schooner Joseph
Paige, who says ne saw a quantity of
barrel slaves sfioat near Two Rivers Point
Saturday morning. The Paige arrived at
Milwaukee Saturday evening. J. NJ.
Burke had endesvored to gain some infor-
nation from Manitowoc, but up to last
evening had not heard anything definite.
His company had the Vernon last August
and had put her on the route formerly run
by the Inflated Champlain.
Captain Thorpe was an experienced
sailor, and regarded the vessel as staunch
and seaworthy. Mr.. Burke thought it
unlikely that there were many passengers
on board, owing to the lateness of the
season. Only one passenger had shipped
on her from Chicago on the last trip,
bound for Petoskey. Capt. John Prindi-
vile said that he could not explain the
lack of definite information regarding
the loss as the Vernon carried four good
boats and some of the crew ought to nave
been able to find landing. The Vernon
he thought one OF the finest seagoing
vessels on the lakes, and if headed to the
gale could stand any weather. His broth :
in.lsw, Capt. John Sullivan, was mate
aboard her and knew the locality where
the wreck is supposed to have occurred, as
well as any seaman on the lakes. Capt.
PriD divide felt confident that some of the
crew would turn up soon.
Mr.. Vernon Booth, for whom the vessel
was named, SAID she cost $65 600 and that
her insurance amounted to So 900 as fol-
lows: st. Paul Fire & Marine, $50, 900;
Louisville underwriters, s. 900; London
Assurance Co, $4,000. She was launched
year ago the latter part of August, Mr.
]. 2. Smith being her builder. In all her
trips wherever heavy weather had been
encountered, she had behaved splendidIy
and as boat, was the admiration of al
the captains and sailors that had be en-
aboard ner. The Northern Michi gan line
paid 81 coo per month for her use.
